> I went to school in the UK. Unsurprisingly, I don't think the Irish or Bengal famines were mentioned There's a _lot_ of British history, and world history. There are several (5?) competing exam boards offering GCSEs and A Level's in history, and generally schools are free to choose between exam boards on a subject-by-subject basis. Each of these will offer an absolute multitude of historic periods, crises, etc, that again schools are free to choose from; history exam papers will offer students choices of questions depending on what they actually studied. What you get taught in your history class at school in the UK is down to your school's Head of History, rather than a complex government-led conspiracy. If your school's Head of History wants to teach "Empire is Bad", they will have no trouble finding approved materials to do so!
